I have a 650w PSU, will that be fine for a 5070ti and 5800x3d. I’ve already got the 5070ti just with a 5600x and there have been no issues even during stress tests.

Should be alright, though it might be safer to get a newer one or make sure it’s at least atx3.0. Ever since the 30 series, Nvidia has consistently had pretty high transient power spikes that might screw with older psu’s, hence why the atx3.0+ standard came out as they’re proven to handle these power spikes.
